      Staff, Clean, Location

      The staff was incredibly kind at the Formost. Their was a young man who especially went out of his way to make sure that everyone felt comfortable. The Formost is right on the main road where the street market is so its perfect and about a 10 minute walk from the beach. Great comfortable place to stay! Would recommend it to others and we'll stay again if we go back to Kenting!

      The location is ok if you like the noise of Kenting night market. The hotel is near a music bar so you can hear it from the room. Breakfast is Mcdonalds vouchers or chinese food in a nearby restaurant. Both I will not consider as hotel with breakfast. Mcdonalds is quite far from the hotel. The owners are not in the reception most of the time and are not generous with smiles. Bed is quite hard. Ok for one night or two but not a great place.

      the hotel is located right infront of the night market... and its the busiest market at night for tourist and locals - so you can save the hassle to find a cab back to the town if you hang out too late and it is hard to get transport back to town. the best about this hotel is the location and easy to find...

      Location only

      Our stay in this hotel is the worst hotel I have experience. 1. There are no one to help carry luggage as hotel has no lift available. 2. They do not do house cleaning. 3. If required towel, you have to collect yourselves. 4. Despite water is available at 3rd floor, there are weird floating jelly items inside. 5. Threw 3 pieces of toilet papers inside, and the toilet bowl stuck. I agree is our fault that we have thrown in, but imagine if you have passed motion and no house cleaning, imagine how smelly the toilet is if you were to stay for 3 days? Worse, when inform the person in charge, he actually tells my father off, asking him to DIY himself. They do not care. A word of advice, if can, do not stay in this hotel unless you wanna experience the worst kind of experience.

      They should have someone at the reception between 11am and 3pm instead of closing the door and locked so that travellers may leave tbeir baggages even if they have to wait until 3pm to check in. We arrived at 1pm and could not get into the hotel at all.
